Lyrics:

Hang all the mistletoe
I'm gonna get to know you better
This Christmas
And as we trim the tree
How much fun it's gonna be together
This Christmas
The fireside is blazing bright, whoa-ah
We're caroling through the night, whoa-whoa
This Christmas will be a very special Christmas for me
Whoa-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Ha, let's go (woo-hoo)
Presents and cards are here
My world is filled with cheer and you
This Christmas
And as I look around
Your eyes outshine the town, they do
This Christmas
The fireside is blazing bright
And we're caroling through the night
And this Christmas will be
A very special Christmas for me, yeah (huh)
Woah-oh, oh-oh
Oh, ha
Shake a hand, shake a hand now
Na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na
Ooh, the fireside is blazing bright
And we're caroling through the night
And this Christmas will be
So special for you and me
Yes, it will be
Woah-oh, oh, oh (ha)
Shake a hand y'all
Come on, everybody shake a hand y'all (ha)
Family, hey
We'll be together to make this Christmas bright
Yes, we will

As soon as she said, Daddy count it off, he counted😭I can't.

[RyansColoradoRailProductions]

It’s been over 44 years since we lost Donny but here we are, with his daughter all grown up, she can sing it with him now. RIP Donny and merry Christmas to you all.

[MashondiaSWells]

May 13, 2023 and I’m overjoyed to have found this!!! I love the both of them…

[dicapriono]

This is reminiscent of King Cole and his daughter's posthumous duet and I love it.

[Chocolategurl]

Lalah is 1 of favorite singers 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🥰 as so was her late Father. God Bless 🙌🏾 🙏🏾 ❤️ 😊

[PhillipConleyJr.]

This is SOOO smooth!!! Everybody else can stop doing versions of this song now. This one and the original are the only two we need.

[JAZZLlFE]

I never realized how much they sound alike until I heard them together. There were times I couldn't tell where Donny ended and Lalah began. Perfection!

[bri]

Lalah has her own sound just like her dad and yet she sounds just like him. What a gift to the world.

[Therealdeal]

This sho nuff made me cry! Seeing Donny gesturing toward Lalah and hearing their voices blend so well together and the musical technicalities and mastery that Lalah brings to everything she touches this was almost too much for me to take! This was absolutely beautiful in every way! Donny will forever be missed but we are so blessed to have his music and his legacy go on through Lalah and the music they’ve both contributed to this world! I could go on forever!! This was truly beautifully done.

[barbarastoney]

Love it. Besides her dad she’s the only person who can sing this song. Beautiful

[msbrooklyn]

This song already is a classic. Now to have it as a duet with Lalah Hathaway along with her dad that Late Donny Hathaway is PRICELESS!🎄🎄💜

[kmmg]

OMG their vocals blend together like sweet butter! ❤

[kimberlyjacob]

And now it’s officially the Holiday Season!!!

[desmondmallette]

Still loving this it's my go to at this time of the year

[MsKali]

Wow wow just WOW she was born to do THIS her Daddy in heaven cutting up seeing this beautiful

[michaelmadcat]

Came here from Digging the Greats, and I am very much digging this version of "This Christmas" ... just a nice, cozy, laid back version. I appreciated hearing the story behind it all, it's such a brilliant idea to pull this one from the vaults and transform it into a father/daughter duet. What a beautiful way to honor him! Merry Christmas y'all!

[ladyrob]

Donny's version of This Christmas will always be the best ever! His daughter just flavored the pot now!

[p.o.p.presents]

Y'all harmonize so heavenly together. WOW!!

[Karensinger]

Magical moment with their voices, father and daughter, blending into one!
